On Wednesday, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien announced that they had filed lawsuits to halt ballot counting in Michigan, insisting that the campaign had been not provided with "meaningful access" to counting locations to observe the process, as guaranteed by Michigan law.
Republicans have claimed that a possible glitch in vote-counting software used in a Michigan county incorrectly sent thousands of votes for President Donald Trump there to Democratic nominee Joe Biden during the 3 November election.
Michigan GOP chairwoman Laura Cox told reporters on Friday that "in Antrim County, ballots were counted for Democrats that were meant for Republicans, causing a 6,000 vote swing against our candidates".
She added that "tabulating software glitched and caused a miscalculation of the votes", saying that "since then, we have now discovered that 47 counties used this same software in the same capacity".
Cox urged the counties to "closely examine their results for similar discrepancies", in a statement that came as Antrim County's Republican Clerk Sheryl Guy told the Free Press website that it's unclear if human error or a glitch caused the improper counting.
